Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Wildlands Festival a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Wildlands Festival (December 21)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Wildlands Festival instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers. This is sometimes done in order to bypass Articles for Creation review. However, if a submitter is ready to have the article in article space, it can be moved into article space, rather than creating a copy. It is common for a page that has been duplicated in draft space and in article space to be nominated for deletion or proposed for deletion. If the article is kept, this draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, this draft may be kept for future improvement.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Wildlands Festival and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Wildlands Festival, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, A.greco21. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Please explain if you have any connection to the music festivals you have written about. MB 21:30, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, completely understand where you are coming from! I don't have any connection to these music festivals, I am just someone who really enjoys going to Australian music festival and am planning to update/create a page for all the ones that I have been over the past couple of years, giving an insight into their history/lineup that these have previously had. A lot of the AUS festival either have very basic wiki pages or do not have one at all. I thought the addition of these onto Wikipedia would've have been welcomed onto the site.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. MB 21:41, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Pitch Main Stage.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Pitch Main Stage.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Pitch Main Stage.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Pitch Main Stage.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement of https://de-de.facebook.com/pitchmusicfestival/photos/a.3151858531511354/3151870911510116/?type=3&theater. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Just to clarify a bit: you were asked here to disclose your connection to these various music festivals promoted by Untitled Group, but did not do so. You then created this promotional page. Wikipedia does not tolerate promotion of any kind. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:19, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

your reason here Hi Justletterandnumbers. I just want to start this off by saying that I have not been paid to create/edit these pages that have been taken down - which I have previously stated. I am not really sure why these pages have been taken down just because they were made in a way that makes it looks like someone has been paid to do so. I have done editing in the past (not on wiki) so that may be the reason why they sound that way. Being my first time editing/creating a page on Wikipedia I wanted to make sure I did it in a way that looks similar to how other wiki pages are created/look, especially other festivals pages (Tomorrowland (festival)). All the info I put in the pages was researched and referenced different websites where they talked about these individual festivals, so any quotes were taken directly from these places. If there is a way we can resolve this I would appreciate it or if possible you can give me tips on how I can fix this? This was my first time on wiki and I obviously have a lot to learn about how this space works as a community. I was planning on doing other festivals throughout AUS too, as I have been to heaps of music festivals throughout AUS and have seen that most of these festivals have very basic pages or lack one completely. As you can also see on the pages that I created, in the Talk spaces the wiki page “WikiProject Australian music” has supported the making of these pages so the need for these pages to be made has been recognised. I understand that it may look like the pages are promotional because I created festivals from the one organisers, but after I finished with Untitled Group, I was going to move onto Hardware Group (another event organiser). Also if you look at the original Beyond the Valley pages and the one I created all I did was update the page to make it more current. I confirm that I have read and understood the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements. I also just want to say that I did to appeal my block soon as I was away on holiday. can i please get a follow up on this?

Decline reason:

You are here for the sole purpose of promoting one business. It seems wholly improbable that you are doing this without being in the pay of that business, but frankly it doesn't make much difference whether you are or not, as editing for promotional purposes us unacceptable either way.
